In association with
Introducing Our Bus Service
We aim to provide a reliable, quality bus service to Bilborough College. Students travel from a wide area across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, making the college accessible to students from a very large catchment area.
Bilborough College is delighted to offer these services in partnership with Skills Motor Coaches. Skills have provided bus services for the college for the past four years and have a history of 90 years’ experience in passenger transport across the East Midlands. This family firm continues to provide Bilborough College with a high level of service and reliability.
Sheila Hayward is the Co-ordinator of the bus services and can be contacted on 0115 8515000 or [email protected] if you have any further queries.
This booklet will give you an overview of our bus services. If you wish to use any of the bus services please complete and return a bus pass application form (preferably at enrolment) along with the appropriate payment. Payment can be made by cash, cheque, credit/debit card or direct debit. A discount is offered to those that can pay in full in advance, rather than direct debit.
Bus passes for all routes also include use of the College Link buses to Nottingham and Derby although we are unable to guarantee a seat on these services due to high demand.

Overview of areas covered by Bilborough College buses
Zones and Pricing
All college routes have been zoned by distance and travelling time, and priced accordingly. A bus pass covers morning and afternoon journeys to and from college for the full academic year (term time only) including study leave and exam periods.
The College does not pass the full price of the bus pass on to its students and subsidises the cost of ALL college bus passes by approximately a third.
Students are expected to pay for travel for the full academic year, proportional bus passes are not available, however if a student only wishes to use the bus occasionally they can purchase single journey tickets from Student Support priced at £2.50 per each way journey.
ZONE COST TO STUDENT £370 1 (if paying by direct debit £408 paid in 8 instalments of £51) £420 2 (if paying by direct debit £464 paid in 8 instalments of £58) £470 3 (if paying by direct debit £520 paid in 8 instalments of £65) £600 4 (if paying by direct debit £660 paid in 8 instalments of £82.50)
Routes and Timetables Please make sure you arrive at your bus stop at least 5 minutes before the scheduled time. Although our service is very reliable, there are sometimes situations beyond our control, such as poor weather or traffic conditions, which may affect timings. Wherever we are aware of such situations we will notify students by text message. Stops shown on the timetable are timing points – If the bus passes by a bus stop between the points, students can use these stops.
